unmanifestedness. Accordingly has it been said:<br />

'They emerged from invisibility, and have gone<br />

back to invisibility. They are not yours, nor are you<br />

theirs. What is this fruitless lamentation!' (Mbh. St.<br />

2.13). Ka, what; paridevana, lamentation, or what<br />

prattle, can there be; tatra, with regard to them, i.e.<br />

with regard to beings which are objects of<br />

delusion, which are invisible, (become) visible,<br />

(and then) get destroyed!<br />

2.29 Someone visualizes It as a wonder; and<br />

similarly indeed, someone else talks of It as a<br />

wonder; and someone else hears of It as a wonder.<br />

And some one else, indeed, does not realize It even<br />

after hearing about It.<br />
